OPENING OF co NGREss.

Congress opens to-day, and 1t has
busy session before it. Let us hope it
fully appreciates the responsibility rest
ing upon it and will make the best use
of its time. 1t has been the custom here
tofOre TO do little or nothing before the
holidays. an evil custom that should be
remedied. just why three weeks should
be wasted in confusion and settling
down it is difficult to see.
A few days generally suffice to perfect
the organization of the two houses; then
why should not work be Immediately
begun. The reports of the various de-
partmentS and the suggestions of the
president are before the national legis-
lative body without delay. and there is
no reason why consideration of them
should be postponed. The people,
too. look for speedy relief from
tariff oppression. The policy of
the majority has been determined
upon. looking toward reduction
of the excessive taxation and dim
mutton of the enormous surplus. There
is no reason why delay should ensue in
taking the necessary steps to bringing
about measures of relief. A good deal
of discussion will ensue before any def
mite bill is adopted, and the sooner it is
begun and concluded the better.
Then, too, the eXaSperating delay that
usually characterizes the consideration
of the appropriation bills should be
avoided. They should not be left to the
close of the session TO be rushed through
in half completed state. Taken up i'll
time they can be carefully and justly
considered, and the best interests of the
country subserved. With the tariff
and the appropriation bills out of the
way, congress would be in much
Better position to consider other bust
ness almost as important to the country.

will not be very patient with willful
waste of the public time and public
money in tiresOme and profitleSS discus
sion.
But. first of all, let the tariff be az
hanged satisfactorily. If congress could
for once give an exhibition of I'M
wonted diligence and institute the
needed reform before adjourning for
the holidays, the country would ask no
better Christmas gift.

WHERE TO STOPIT.

There is only one way to etfectually
stamp out the growing weeds of anarch-
ism, socialism, nihilism and general i'm
ported scoundrelism which ale growing
with such rank rapidity in the fertile
soil OF this freedom-nouriShed country;
and that is to stamp upon and destroy
the seeds of these parasites at their
entrepOt TO this country, Castle Garden.
The vigilance of police and the mer-
CHESS Justice of the courts will avail
little so long as their labOrS are rendered
unremitting by the freedom of import.
The country wants and welcomes inn
migrants. In land where the grand
fathers of majority of the citizens
came from beyond the sea, the reStric-
ton of immigration to the point
of practical prohibition would be
absurd in the extreme. But a
healthy restriction can and should
be maintained. If there is not
sufficient authority under the present
law, congress should not adjourn with
out enacting measures which would
render the transplanting from foreign
shores to this land of nOXiouS human
weeds a thing impossible. A system OF
espionage, if necessary, should be eS-
tablished which would render the detec-
ton of undesirable immigrants at the
time of their landing sure and certain;
and the word undesirable should be
amply defined by the proper authorities.
1t is not enough that pauper immi-
grants and sickly immigrants should be
refused admission and sent back to
the ports whence they sailed.
They at most are simply passive
agents in bringing injury upon the
community. 1t is the scum. the out
pouring. the scOurings of foreign lands
which the law should prevent from being
dumped upon our shores to contamnate
everything with which it might come
in contact.
With the proper system of vigilance
maintained, anarchism and its kindred
evils in this country would soon die
from inanitiou. But every facility
should at the same time be given the
honest and desirable immigrant in seek
ing new nome in this land of liberty.
The task in its two phases is difficult
one, but it is not impossible of achieve

WHAT'S A BUSTLE?
And flow Should 1t Be Classified
as Freight?

This question, with the articles con-
seguent classification as freight, has
been sorely exercising the freight
agents of the tranScOntinentalr railroads,
the pool commissioners and the inter-
state commerce commissioners ever
since. it now tranSpireS, last February,
says the Louisville COurier-Journal.
1t seems that while there is general
agreement among the officials that there
is such an entity as the hustle there has
been the greatest doubt and diversity of
opinion among them as to what buStles
are made of. Before the last July re-
vision bUStles were shipped as wire
goods" or ''hOOpskirtS" at $3.50 hun
bred from New York to San Francisco,
the freight on unclassifed dry goods
being 50 hundred. In February.
however, one luckleSs manufacturer
shipped to San Francisco firm
case of these articles, which he
described III the bills of lading, not as
wire goods" or ''hoopSkirtS," but as
.'bustles." The agent, finding no such
thing in the tariff catalogues as bus
tie, charged the rate on unclasSified dry
goods, and this at once sprung the queS-
ton above. The general traffic man
ayers WreStled with it long and earn
eStly. Some of these being married men,
we are told, professed to know some
thing about buStleS. and one, an elderly
gentleman, was indignant over what
he termed 1.-The low Subterfuge' of class
ing bustles as hoopskirts or wire goods,
when there wasn't a bit of wire or hoop
of any kind about them. He ought to
know, for his wife has worn hustle for
years. The article was made OF leatll-
ers and cloth; two long, narrow bags
Just wide enough tO-to-well, to eS-
cape being sat on, were sewed together,
the latter one below, and fastened on
with strings"
The explanation was not entirely sat
isfactory to all, and one of the younger
men ventured to suggest that he had
heard that buStleS were made of news
papers instead of feathers. III answer
to this SOlemn-yisaged gentleman, who
is reported to be the father of a large
family of girls, replied that he chad it
on the best of authority that the news
paper hustle existed only in the columns
of a funny newspaper. A Well-cOn-
structed hustle vas filled with curled
hair, and still better quality with
wool. In former years he had pur-
chased such articles himself, and he
felt that he was all authority on the sub
je-t."
The testimony seemed against the
''wire goods idea. when it is reported
that a young man gave it as his opinion
that there must be something III the
theory.

week before somewhat the worse for
wear, and was making manly effort to
get to bed without disturbing his silent
partner, when his foot caught in some
thing that felt like bird cage about his
ankles, and he pitched forward until he
reached the mantel, which he found
with his nose. He uttered an
exclamation which transformed his
silent partner into one of the
most active of alive partners, and COM
PEELED an explanation. A light being
produced, the wreck of objects that had
caused him to fall was brought up for
imprecatiOn and analysis. 1t was his
first otfense, and his wife, therefore,
allowed her concern over his miShap to
dominate her indignation over the con-
ditiOn in which he presented himself.
So she plastered his nose and said the
break didn't matter; it could be easily
replaced.
"'But where's the rest of it, and
what's become of the bird?'
1.-The bird! what do you mean?' his
wife exclaimed.
"'Why, isn't that part of bird
cage" he inquired.
"a bird cage! Ha! ha.-why, yes;
if ] am your little birdie, as used to be
that's my buStle,' she said"
Notwithstanding this additional testi-
mOny in support of the ''wire goods
theory, the traffic managers were not
thoroughly satisfied, and so they went
to the shippers themselves for their
views of the question. Their repre-
sentative explained that ''the hustle of
commerce was composed of wire and
hoops and crinOline. In former years
they had been built of cotton and excel
SiOr and hair and wool and feathers and
other things, but never, he thought, of
newspapers"
The managers were inclined to adopt
this view of the matter and allow buStieS
to be shipped as ''wire goods" but the
freight agents held out for COM
promise, and the tariff commissioners
finally fixed the rate on bustleS at s. per
hundred.
This leaves the question as to what
hustle is as much a mystery as ever.

these wise men seem tohave diScOvered)

office should be filled by woman.
With commission so constituted
there would need never be any doubt
concerning such problems as what a

party in this country, big enough to

of absolute free trade. The difference
between parties on the tariff question is
whether taxes on imports shall be laid
for revenue solely, or so devised as also
to encourage home production by taxing
cheaper foreign production. In the one
case the tax goes into the public treas
ury; in the other case part of the tax
goes into the hands of special interests.
